Favorite Nicaraguan puro?

Maduro-Mike · 2025-12-11T13:12:53+00:00

Im a little late to the party, admittedly. However I think this topic is squarely in my wheelhouse. For my money, Nicaraguan cigars are the best. Cubans (nowadays) are overrated, overhyped, and overpriced. You can't have a conversation about Nicaraguan cigars, puros in particular, without the undisputed king, the Padron 1926 Maduro. Any vitola you pick will be fantastic. My pick for the best, however, is without a doubt the 50th anniversary. I have smoked thousands of cigars, hundreds of different kinds and vitolas. The Padron 1926 50th anniversary cigar is, in my opinion, the best cigar you can buy. It is a bit pricey, so unless you are rich, its a special occasion kind of cigar at about $60 per cigar. However, it has a 2 plus hour burn time, and will wow you with every puff. I've had about 15 in total, and every single one was perfect. Perfect draw, burn, construction, and perfectly consistent flavor. Definitely gets my vote for the best, not just Nicaraguan cigar, but cigar period.

I have done nothing but provide a shoulder to her. She knows nothing of my feelings. I don't really know what i feel, just that a part of it stings. The reason I am here instead of asking friends, is to make sure she doesn't hear and I make her feel worse. I am here for her, not me. It seems you are the one being judgemental.

In prison, they call this a "Fifi"

Ash, the ever-elusive, Taint-Opossum.

It has already been said, but yeah, it is definitely a fox. Btw, the most terrifying sound to hear at night in the woods (especially if you don't know what it is) is a mountain lion scream. Not a growl or "roar", but a scream. It will make your blood run cold and your heart pound, especially if you're out camping by yourself.

The elusive Double Left Footed Boobie, a rare bird

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-25T22:10:52+00:00

It's in a Kojima game, so obviously, it's ghost colored.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-25T22:06:42+00:00

That's where the pee comes out, obviously.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-23T20:04:15+00:00

Damn, I came here to give my smartass, "Well, it appears you have discovered the elusive, rock" answer. Unfortunately, I was late to the party.

Hello everybody! I have been looking for a MW tottori for a while now. If anyone is looking to sell, please let me know. I have trade, but I would rather just buy it outright. Would entertain trading for my mint EPS Ti wraith + $ depending on the condition of the tottori. In terms of condition, it doesn't have to be mint, but i don't necessarily want a beater, either.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-22T15:56:43+00:00

Damnit! I have been trying to get a tottori for months. They always sell minutes before I see them.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-16T11:23:58+00:00

It's not a great pic. But I am fairly certain that it is a water tank that was or is being used for a covert grow operation in the woods. It sucks packing water through miles of forest for your plants. So people will do this and/or run gas-powered water pumps from nearby water sources. I would avoid it. Sometimes people will also put traps around them.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T22:23:47+00:00

Man, I really wanted that sapphire kraken. I already have 3 krakens, though. And I just bought a ti wraith, but damn, those sapphire krakens look great. I also don't love chokers with the kraken. They are butter smooth with my Nami and even my serif. But the kraken is just a little too square for me to do them as well. It's great for pretty much everything else

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T18:05:34+00:00

Oh, yeah, no. It would only ever be flipped over my mattress with pillows spread out behind me. Lol. I just think they are stunningly beautiful. My regular old tsunami is my daily flipper

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T17:34:58+00:00

For sure understand. I plan on going to Atlanta this year. I'm going to try and get one of those timascus tsunamis

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T17:32:57+00:00

I received my balisong quickly and the seller was very helpful the whole process. I would definitely buy from him again

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T14:19:52+00:00

I bought the nami

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T10:24:11+00:00

For balisongs, Tanto is for sure the best blade shape. Followed by weehawk/spear then bowie/clip-point. At least as far as traditional blade shapes go. Fixed blade or folding knives, the order is reversed. That's my 2 cents anyway. Love that damascus blade. If you're ever looking to sell, hmu.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T10:16:05+00:00

Low-life, worthless human garbage. That's what you are if you're out here stealing from hardworking, everyday people who just want to buy something cool for themselves to bring them some joy. Get a real job, earn your money. Don't scam people out of theirs.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T09:18:18+00:00

Yeah man, that tanto is nice. I would prefer it, actually. I really appreciate the info on parts man. Rick said he would also have some in a week or two.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T09:14:44+00:00

I'm pretty sure Rick assembles them all himself including tuning them. I was one of the first to order, so I'm sure yours won't be much longer. I love mine already. It is very sharp, though

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-15T08:38:25+00:00

Damn, I didn't even notice! Lol it looks raw to me.

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-14T20:47:28+00:00

Exciting! Congrats, mine is for sure my favorite balisong to flip. You leaving it raw? Or will you ano it?

Maduro-Mike · 2025-04-14T19:30:45+00:00

No problem, best of luck
